Ingredients

For the steak

2 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, flank steak, tenderloin all work)
2 tsp salt divided
1 teaspoon black pepper divided
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoon shallots minced
⅓ cup white wine
5 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped
1 teaspoon thyme

For the potatoes

1 lb baby gold potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Cut the steak into 1 ½-inch bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Allow the steaks to rest for about 20 minutes while you prepare and start to cook your potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and turn the stove to high heat and bring the water to a boil. Boil the potates for about 10-15 minutes, until they're soft when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat, drain, and allow to cool slightly.
Arrange the cooked potatoes on a parchment-lined pan in an even layer and, using a flat object (like a glass or a measuring cup), smash the potatoes right on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, start your steak. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the pan. Once the pan and the oil are hot, add the steak and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Toss the steak for one more minute until all sides are slightly browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a =bowl while you prepare the garlic butter sauce. Do not wipe the pan clean.
Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and cook for another minute, scraping the bits from the pan.
Remove the pan from heat and add the butter, salt and pepper.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and place alongside the steak bites onto a large platter.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites and potatoes, and sprinkle with parsley and thyme.

Notes

Cook the steak in an even layer in a very hot skillet to achieve a good sear on all sides.
Watch your cooking time - steak bites cook quickly! Use a meat thermometer to measure the temperature - 135°F (medium-rare) to 145°F (medium).
Use the back of a measuring cup to easily smash the potatoes on the pan.
